Customer Reviews

An Inspirational Ride-Along!

At first glance, one could be intimidated by Lockwood in her super-woman, achievement-driven experiences-perhaps feeling an inability to "resonate" or "relate". However, combat boots and SWAT gear aside, the "inner" story and personal struggle are so universal and so vulnerable in their telling that the intelligence and accomplishments is a model for "possibility". The "woman" in Lockwood is vulnerable with great vision and perseverance, an inspiration for anyone's own reinvention! This book will appeal to both women and men in its heart message and action-packed narrative! What a ride! Joanne Baskin, CPC ignitus Coaching

Refreshingly inspirational!

The book reads like a compelling crime story; however, when you are finished, you realize you have just journeyed through a motivational and compelling true life story of hard knocks and success. I LOVE the fact that it conveys good "self help", useable concepts in a refreshing way (i.e, not the typical "10 Steps to suceess" stories that run rampant in book stores today!).

Pretty interesting....

I found the book to be witty, dark and creative -- and pretty darn funny at times. Who says you can't have it all??? Anyone who is thinking of radically changing their career or attempting to overcome gender related obstacles should read this book!

Strong women will appreciate this book

When I first read the promo line for this book, I really didn't imagine that I would be unable to put the book down! While it was a very entertaining read, I found myself constantly relating to the author's struggles in her career and personal life. There are a lot of women who will associate to the challenge of doing what is "right" by society's standards and needing to be true to themselves. I recommend this read to all women who want to have their cake and eat it too!

Finally the truth is told!

An inspiring account by a brave woman who endured ridicule and discrimination and still managed to turn the other cheek inspite of everything.
